Exile the Whole Family! The Koi Girl Farms and Flies the Whole Family

  Chapter 32 Fresh Crops

  There are more than 300 households in Zaihu Village, with a total population of more than 1,500.

   After all, this era is full of big families.

  Uncle Ruan Gui didn't expect Zhao Liya and Hu Ling to come again, so he was very happy.

Seeing that they brought so many gifts, the whole family was both happy and sad, so don't give them a good reprimand, "It's your intention to come and see them. What a waste to bring so many things! These days Whose family can't live carefully and carefully? It can't be like this in the future!"

  Zhao Liya smiled and said: "Uncle Ruan Gui, you are being polite! You don't think it's too simple!"

  Uncle Ruan Gui greeted his daughter-in-law to kill chickens, asked his son to go to the village to dig bamboo shoots, and went to the vegetable garden to pick vegetables with a smile on his face for lunch.

  Since Zhao Liya is here, she naturally wants to take a look around, so she also wants to follow Aunt Ruan Gui to the vegetable garden.

  Aunt Ruan Gui cheerfully said, "What's so interesting about the vegetable garden, if you want to go, go there, just to help Auntie pick some beans."

  Zhao Liya nodded again and again: "Okay, okay, Auntie will ask me to help if I see anything I can do!"

"Why!"

  Uncle Ruan Gui was also happy to hear that, the Zhao family is really different, it just makes people like it.

  Zhao Liya never expected that she saw sweet potato vines in Aunt Ruan Gui's vegetable garden! Saw tomatoes!

   "This, this—Aunt Ruan Gui, you actually have sweet potatoes! And tomatoes!"

  Zhao Liya pointed, her eyes widened, shocked!

   She suddenly thought, yes, this area is only two or three hundred miles away from the sea, and in a broad sense, it can be regarded as an area near the sea.

  So, why is it so strange that some western crops appear here?

"Is this called a sweet potato or a tomato?" Aunt Ruan Gui was also a little surprised, and said with a smile: "We call this sweet potato Diguo, and these tomatoes are called Sour Fruit. Pick up the seedlings and fry them. They are fresh and tender. We My family likes to eat it. The more you pinch, the longer it grows, and it grows faster. It’s a good thing! When the fruit is ripe in autumn, I will ask you Uncle Ruan Gui to send you two baskets! Sour fruit is eaten raw by children, let alone sour. The sweet and sour taste is very appetizing, but the cooking is average, the taste is weird, and it will become sticky after cooking for a while."

  Zhao Liya looked at the tomatoes in the corner, and then at the small field of sweet potatoes.

  It seems that Aunt Ruan Gui and the others don't know that sweet potatoes can be propagated with vines. It can be seen from this small plot that all of them grow from sweet potatoes as seeds.

  Sweet potatoes are a good thing, but Aunt Ruan Gui and the others only grow them as a vegetable, and don't take them seriously at all.

   It's not surprising, after all, who would have thought that such a good thing?

   "Aunt Ruan Gui, can I pick some tomatoes and some sweet potato vines when I go back?"

  Aunt Ruan Gui laughed cheerfully: "What's wrong with this? You want as much as you like, and it will grow anyway."

"Thank you, Aunt Ruan Gui!" Zhao Liya thanked happily, and said again: "Aunt Ruan Gui, let me tell you, this sweet potato vine can be cut off and planted directly in the ground, and it will survive, grow, and bear fruit. Sweet potato fruit can be boiled, Steaming, cooking porridge with rice, and burying the skin under the hot ashes in the stove, it’s delicious. There are other ways to eat it, and you’ll know when I’ve harvested it and I’ll show you it!”

   "Tomatoes can also be used for cooking. Cut them into pieces and stir-fry meat with peppers, or stew soup, scrambled eggs, scrambled beans, etc. You can put some as side dishes. It's sweet and sour, and it's appetizing in summer."

  Aunt Ruan Gui was very surprised when she heard it, and her eyes widened: "Oh, you are indeed from the capital, you know a lot! So this is really a good thing!"

  Zhao Liya smiled secretly, thinking that the young ladies in the capital would not understand this!

  But she didn't explain, and nodded with a smile: "Well, I'm not kidding you, this is really a good thing."

Aunt Ruan Gui nodded with a smile: "Okay, I remember. I will try to grow some sweet potatoes later. Don't mention it, these sweet potato vines grow fast. It's good to feed pigs, chickens and ducks a variety of varieties. There are many things!"

  Zhao Liya agreed: "No, this is full of treasures."

   "Haha, there is a little bit!"

Thinking of the geographical location of this area, Zhao Liya asked again with the mentality of giving it a try: "By the way, aunt, are there any vegetables or crops from outside in our village? I still want to see It's rare to see!"

  Aunt Ruan Gui thought for a while, and joked: "Well, I don't know which ones are from outside. We also have a vegetable garden at home, do you want to go and see it?"

  Zhao Liya was in the middle of her arms, and nodded again and again: "Okay, okay, then trouble auntie!"

  Aunt Ruan Gui couldn't laugh or cry, she didn't expect her to be so curious.

   "Okay, let's go after lunch!"

  Zhao Liya couldn't say that she had to go now, wouldn't that be unreasonable?

   "Well, let's go after dinner."

  Lunch was made by Aunt Ruan Gui, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Zhao Liya wanted to help, but the Ruan family resolutely refused—how could there be any reason to let guests into the kitchen to work? If you say it, you will be laughed at.

  Zhao Liya had no choice but to go out and talk to Uncle Ruan Gui and the others.

  Lunch is roasted bamboo shoots with chicken, eggs with shallots, fried sweet potato vines, fried beans with chili, and a pot of steamed rice.

  The Ruan family kept asking Zhao Liya and Hu Ling to eat more. Uncle Ruan Gui has a grandson who is only three years old. He was previously nicknamed Tu'er. When Zhao Xiang came over to eat Mr. Ruan's birthday feast, the Ruan family asked him to name him. Zhao Xiang named him Ruan Tu. The Ruan family was very happy, and now they call the little baby Tu'er.

  This kid is very sensible, he stared at the chicken eagerly, the adults didn't speak and didn't make a fuss, Zhao Liya gave him a big chicken leg, which made him very happy.

  After having a lively lunch, Zhao Liya was entangled: Should I discuss planting sugar cane with Uncle Ruan Gui first, or should I go to the vegetable garden with Aunt Ruan Gui first?

  After struggling for a while, I decided to talk about sugarcane first. The seasons wait for no one, and the crops and vegetables in the vegetable garden will not run away.

  Uncle Ruan Gui was very surprised to hear her two talk about planting sugar cane: "You want to buy land to grow sugar cane, and then build a workshop to squeeze sugar?"

"yes!"

"This-this land is not difficult to buy, but no one in our village has ever planted sugarcane. I have heard people talk about it, and I don't know if it is difficult to plant. Sugar. I understand. In our area, no one understands.”

  There is no sugar mill in Gaolian County, but there seems to be one in Lin County.

   Zhao Liya asked carefully, and Uncle Ruan Gui told everything he knew.

  Suixi County, Linxian County has a sugar mill. After the sugar is squeezed out, it is brownish-yellow. It is cut into rectangular pieces of sugar, which are commonly known as sliced ​​sugar. It is well made, the color is beautiful, there is no impurity, and the sugar taste is very pure. Generally, the ones are not very good, the color is darker, the sugar cubes are mixed with irregular bagasse impurities, and the taste of the sugar is not pure, with a faint bitterness.
